A Pi?ata is made of papier-m?ch? to form the shape of popular and traditional characters depending on your party's theme and is then filled with sweets and small toys. (To be played under adult supervision) The idea is that an adult hangs the pi?ata by a rope from a tree branch, clothes line and each player takes it in turns while blindfolded to hit the pi?ata with a stick until it breaks open. As soon as it is broken all the goodies fall out for everyone to share. To avoid young children being disappointed, it would be a good idea to put small goody bags inside with each child's name on it.
